Great God, We Sing That Mighty Hand

Author: Philip Doddridge Appears in 491 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Great God, we sing that mighty hand By which supported still we stand; The opening year Thy mercy shows, That mercy crowns it till it close. 2 By day, by night, at home, abroad, Still are we guarded by our God; By His incessant bounty fed, By His unerring counsel led. 3 With grateful hearts the past we own; The future, all to us unknown, We to Thy guardian care commit, And, peaceful, leave before Thy feet. 4 In scenes exalted or depressed Thou art our joy, and Thou our rest; Thy goodness all our hopes shall raise, Adored thru all our changing days.

Say Then, Ye Worms Of Earth

Author: Charles Wesley Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 2 hymnals First Line: Say then, ye worms of earth, to whom Lyrics: 1 Say then, ye worms of earth, to whom Will ye your glorious God compare? Vainly thro’ all His works ye roam, And find Jehovah’s likeness there. 2 The vile idolater belies His image with a golden shrine, To counterfeit the Godhead tries; And stocks and stones become divine. 3 Man his own deity reveres By self delight, and self esteem, Whate’er the sinner hopes, or fears Desires, or loves, is God to him. 4 But have ye not His being known, And clearly seen by nature’s light? Have not the ancient fathers shown, And you confessed the Infinite? 5 The heavens His glorious power proclaim, Th’invisible on earth is showed; Nature is written with His name, And all things speak their builder God. 6 Creation to His law submits, His rule He over all maintains, High on the globe of Heaven He sits, And undisturbed for ever reigns. 7 Th’ inhabitants of earth from thence, As grasshoppers His eye beholds; His hand, and power, and providence The curtain of the heavens unfolds. 8 ’Tis He who stretched them out, ’tis He Who still the wide pavilion spreads, That blue ethereal canopy, And draws it o’er His creatures’ heads. 9 Princes and kings that dare withstand Their uncontrolled Creator’s sway, Shall sink behind His mighty hand, And fall, and fade, and die away. 10 Planted awhile, or sown below, Their stock accursed shall ne’er take root; The Lord upon their pride shall blow, Wither the flower, and blast the fruit. 11 Say then, ye abject worms, to whom Will ye your glorious God compare? Who shall His holiness presume To match, or who His power shall dare? 12 Lift up your eyes to things on high, Nor fix on earth your groveling thought; Who built yon azure vaulted sky? Who spoke those beauteous orbs from naught? 13 God only wise, and great, and strong, Made them to run their heavenly race; Knowledge and might to God belong, Honor, and majesty and praise. 14 Their radiant hosts He marshals right, Their nature, names and number knows; He bids them in their courses fight, And blast their great Creator’s foes. 15 They hear, and each His will performs, And lo! to man they ever call, "Lift up your eyes, ye abject worms, Adore the glorious Cause of All!"

Ho! Every One That Thirsts, Draw Nigh

Author: Charles Wesley Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 226 hymnals Lyrics: 1. Ho! every one that thirsts, draw nigh: ’Tis God invites the fallen race: Mercy and free salvation buy; Buy wine, and milk, and gospel grace. 2. Come to the living waters, come! Sinners, obey your Maker’s call; Return, ye weary wanderers, home, And find My grace is free for all. 3. See from the rock a fountain rise! For you in healing streams it rolls; Money ye need not bring, nor price, Ye laboring, burdened, sin-sick souls. 4. Nothing ye in exchange shall give; Leave all you have and are behind; Frankly the gift of God receive; Pardon and peace in Jesus find. 5. Why seek ye that which is not bread, Nor can your hungry souls sustain? On ashes, husks, and air ye feed; Ye spend your little all in vain. 6. In search of empty joys below, Ye toil with unavailing strife, Whither, ah! whither would ye go? I have the words of endless life. 7. Hearken to Me with earnest care, And freely eat substantial food, The sweetness of My mercy share, And taste that I alone am good. 8. I bid you all My goodness prove, My promises for all are free, Come taste the manna of My love, And let your souls delight in Me. 9. Your willing heart and ear incline, My words believingly receive; Quickened, your souls, by faith divine, An everlasting life shall live. Used With Tune: ST.
